\"South<\/a>September 30, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visitors who drop into the Kingaroy Art Gallery during the South Burnett and Cherbourg On Show<\/strong><\/a> long weekend will be able to see a wide and varied exhibition from some of the region’s best artists.<\/p>\n

They’ll also be able to view a brand new exhibition that will be opening on Friday night, October 3.<\/p>\n

Over the long weekend the gallery will be displaying “Life Matters” – a large exhibition put together by Kingaroy’s Jumping Ant Arts group.<\/p>\n

The first phase of exhibition opened in mid-August this year when a dozen Jumping Ant Arts members filled the gallery with paintings, prints, pottery, textile works, spun garments, photography and woodworks.<\/p>\n

Then in September, sold works were removed from the exhibition to make space for an update showcasing pottery created by students at a series of workshops the group had run in July and August.<\/p>\n

These delightful pieces now occupy one of the gallery’s smaller rooms.<\/p>\n

And on Friday, October 3 the exhibition will be extended again when the Gallery officially opens its annual Disability Art Show, which will hang in the rear gallery until October 23.<\/p>\n

The Disability Art Show is put on every year by the gallery to celebrate Mental Health Week (which runs from October 5-12).<\/p>\n

This year’s theme is “Create Your Journey”, and works will be judged on their relevance to the competition theme, as well as their impact, originality and inspirational quality.<\/p>\n

The competition is being co-ordinated by the South Burnett Community Mental Health Service, and the Kingaroy Lions Club will be providing prizes to the winners,<\/p>\n

The official opening and announcement of prize-winners will be held at 6:00pm.<\/p>\n
